From Library Journal
While this book could certainly get one started in making and marketing greeting cards, it is far better than its title implies. It is basically a very fine book on painting in small format. Penney distills her art into miniature studies that make use of techniques necessary for any size watercolor. Moreover, the explications of wet-on-wet, waxing, and masking techniques and the specific treatments of varying skies, seasons, and textures of stone are nicely done. Lacking, however, is advice on marketing one's work. Nevertheless, a unique book that is useful for a broad audience.

From Booklist
Any artistic endeavor that is confined to a small format still has the potential to be visually expansive. That is the philosophy of Long Island watercolorist Penney, whose book is aimed at practitioner and novice alike. Her angle is to use landscapes, seascapes, and natural scenes in postcards and greeting cards. Each of the more than 35 projects features step-by-step color photographs as well as indications of potential problems, such as changes in the weather. The last two sections include a look at creating fantasies and Warhol-like pictures from paint drips, plus tips on presentation. Barbara Jacobs
